So my company is running a pilot project in outsourcing design to the Phillipines. If it all goes well, theyll need an internal liaison to help direct their design team for our US based clients. That person would be me.
How much of a pay increase should I expect from this if it works out considering I would stay there quarterly and my tasks would be art directing/proj managing?

your work will be double, since your going to have to redo their work. I've got a team in india that I work with... good people, but attention to detail is a bit lacking. Some times they just don't get it. So beware...

You can't outsource design!

exactly. apparently theyre pretty good at design, but as far as direction goes, some concepts will not work here in the US.

ya there are some dope designers out there... halfproject used to be a good one but they haven't put their site up in awhile... theres a few other firms out there that are top notch

But how much does Halfproject charge? I doubt they are working for $15/ hour.

(Aug 3 06, 14:49)Oh man.. how wrong you are..
You can outsource EVERYTHING. and there is chances that it will happen to most of us as globalization / communications gets bigger and bigger. Like it or not, I think its unstoppable.I was just watching this show called 38 days or something like that on cable, first time I watched.
This programmer guy from NY looses his job because of outsorcing in india, so he goes there for 30 days and experiences the gig from the other perspective.
He was thinking he had everything going right, never expected it, just had a baby too, then it hit him.
